If last game didn’t teach him, he’s not going to learn

Reason being is that if your hand is behind your back the flesh above your shoulder is tighter and a ball that hits there will do more damage.

Thanks but is there not a little shoulder pad to protect that spot? Seems like a broken hand would be worse than bruised shoulder, anyway

It’s been about the past 10 years that catchers in the MLB and college have rest their hand need their stomach. Tuck the thumb in and keep the hand in your mid section and it won’t get hit often.

You dont put it behind your back, you put it outside your thigh. Behind the back is what they teach in little league

I caught in college. kept my hand pretty much where Brady does. Felt like it allowed for a smoother transition and throwing motion.

Makes no sense if no one is on base

It does until you repeatedly take foul balls off of it

props to him for taking that foul tip off his throwing hand, staying in the game and then hitting a grand slam the next day

He took the foul off his hand in the same game.. yesterday .

He indeed hit the GS after the foul tip tho so i guess he's ok

I don’t disagree. But unless you keep it completely behind you, you risk it getting hit.

But they teach keeping the off hand there to increase speed/reduce motion during the transition.

When Brady goes to throw that off hand will go right behind his glove. Then when he pops and flips his hips the hands move up in unison to his right ear.

Forget it, Thibadoe Tiger’s little league coach taught him to put his hand behind his back so he thinks that is how the professionals do it.

You said he needs to move it some he doesn’t get it hit.

And a few different posters have told you why catchers don’t necessarily hide their hands behind their thigh anymore, but you refuse to listen.

Way to crawfish when you misquoted what I said trying to be a smart arse.


Also, this is a dumb fricking take when the dude took 2 off the hand in consecutive games

The problem I see with him specifically is that he doesn't crouch down enough to tuck into his hip/belly enough to protect the hand like I've seen others do. He's chest up and completely exposed
